Hallowe'en, Playgirl, Etc

OK, my dears, your sweet (but determined!) nudges about the Hallowe'en blends yielded results. Guy Fawkes, Haint, Holy Terror and Little Ghoulie are now available at Magical Omaha and Gorey Details. These seasonal LEs will not be available in soaps-- only 'fumes this time. I hope to keep them available through mid to late November.

In other news, you can see Burlesque, Devilish and Spitfire featured along with other cool products in the current issue of Playgirl. Our soaps are so damn foxy, they didn't even have to drop their wrappers for the photo.

Finally, if you receive a Arcana sample which does not have an official Arcana label and/or does not come from an authorized Arcana retailer, I can't vouch for its authenticity. I absolutely know that the vast majority of you who like to sell and swap these are extremely honest, ethical people. However, I certainly can't control what a few bad apples do. There are some things in the works which may come to pass eventually, but in the meantime, I have not authorized anyone for the widespread sale of our samples.

Edited to add: In regards to my October 3rd post, yes, we are OK here. Thank you all so much for your concern.

The retail site will stay down indefinitely, but our wholesale business is getting back up to speed, so we encourage you to seek out the fine shops & websites which carry our wares.

Bad News

Due to a completely unexpected crisis here in the Arcana family, I'm afraid that the site is not going to be back anytime soon.

I'm so sorry, you guys. The worst part is that I was very excited about the 4 new Hallowe'en scents and about some other new... items. I will try to get the Hallowe'en blends into the hands of a few of our retailers ASAP, so at least those who want to try them will get that chance. Therefore, you might check Gorey Details and Magical Omaha and other retail-type people in the next few days.

For all those in Portland who come to our regular outdoor markets, please know that we had to cancel the rest of our markets for the season.

If you have a problem, a question, a gift certificate, or just want to tell me to keep my chin up, please feel free to email.

xoxoxo,
